Royal Wedding : brief review

Last week, all eyes were on Britain while millions of people around the globe witnessed the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The royal couple was married in Westminster Abbey, which is a very historic site if I must say. A mainly Gothic church built by King Edward the Confessor; a church mainly used for big events such as the coronation of a new royalty.

So alright, since I have not much time to spare on this, I'll just cut through the chase and move on to the highlights of the wedding.




When everybody else is busy watching Princess Beatrice's funny looking hat and admiring how elegant the bride's dress is, I was more into watching the household cavalry that was escorting their carriages back to Buckingham Palace. It seems very exciting to be riding a horse, while the army uniform gave them a sturdy look. Besides, I am a big fan of swords and blades! I really need to learn how to ride a horse one day soon.

And the other main highlight of the day was surely the long awaited balcony appearance when the royal couple shared some public smooching to entertain the crowd. To be honest, I kind of wished that the kiss was more romantic, I mean, come on William, I know you can do better than that! Show the world some love, yo!



the famous balcony kiss~

For the reception held in the palace after the procession, Kate wore this beautiful evening dress, designed by the same person who made her wedding dress. I think this dress is better than her wedding dress, but that's just me.


Later on that night, the whole Internet was flooded with picture of the wedding and people, especially girls being all crazy with the idea of getting married. Yes people, its the very idea of getting married that excites you guys rather more than the real marriage itself. Marriage is a commitment, a holy matrimonial joining two souls who are in love with each other. But more on that later.

I leave the rest to you.......

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be, I hope to get a more h

As I said yesterday, I had my oral exam earlier today. Please don't even bother asking me how it went. As always, things didn't go as I had planned it to. I mean, of all things, I didn't expect myself to stumble upon plural conjugations as well as the basic command words such as 'what' and 'how'. Lucky for me it went by pretty quickly that it ended before I even realized it. Well at least I got hold of a decent conversation with Luay Hasan, the other Arabic lecturer before my exam started since I got there earlier than expected. The rest of my afternoon was spent on biting away my Subway while watching a new episode of The Apprentice UK followed by another show about the preparation Venice undergo through last year when the Pope came to visit, then just before the sun sets for the day I managed to finish one more documentary about Britain's monarchy, highlighting the era of its Queens. As the night falls, I realized that I had not only wasted my time w

So here I am in London UK. My last farewell in KLIA didn't turned out as I hoped it to be. It is kind of sad when I thought back about it during my 12 hour plus flight that day. One of the most unforgettable moment while on the flight was when the plane was about to take off. I stared out the window together with Ashraf and Amin until the plane was no longer touching Malaysian soil. To be totally honest, that was the saddest moment. I felt like going up to the pilot and make him turn the plane around. It sure felt like a dream. When my dad woke me up at 4 that day, I was still very sleepy and blurred. Then as I got into the shower, it suddenly occurred to me that today is the D-Day, the big day when I leave this place I call home for London. 12 hours plus in the plane was indeed very tiring! Sure the movies they had in the flight entertainment were nice., but you do get tired of it after the first or second movies. The in-flight music on the other hand was even worse, I did
